6 You are a NON-RESIDENT or PART-YEAR resident with income taxed by Mississippi (other than gambling income). Single resident taxpayers you have gross income in excess of $8,300 plus $1,500 for each dependent. Married resident taxpayers you and your spouse have gross income in excess of $16,600 plus $1,500 for each dependent. Minor resident taxpayers you have gross income in excess of the personal exemption plus the standard deduction according to the filing status. Residents working outside of Mississippi you must file a Mississippi return and report the total gross income regardless of the source if you are a Mississippi resident working out of state (employer of interstate carriers, construction worker, salesman, offshore worker, etc.)

7 Residents working outside of the United States you must file a return and report the total gross income if you are a Mississippi resident employed in a foreign country on a temporary or transitory basis. If you qualify to exclude foreign wages for federal purposes, enter the amount as a deduction on schedule N and attach the Federal Form 2555. Deceased taxpayer if you are a survivor or representative of a deceased taxpayer, you must file a return for the taxpayer who died during the tax year or before the 2017 return was filed. For more information on the filing requirements of a deceased taxpayer, see the Death of a Taxpayer section of this booklet. An individual who maintains a home, apartment or other place of abode in Mississippi, or who exercises the rights of citizenship in Mississippi by meeting the requirements as a voter or who enjoys the benefits of homestead exemption, is a legal resident of the State of Mississippi and remains a resident although temporarily absent from the state for varying intervals of time.

8 An individual remains a legal resident of Mississippi until citizenship rights are relinquished and a new legal residence is established. Changes in driver s license, vehicle tags, voter registration, and property taxes show intent to change legal residence. What is my status if I moved into or out of Mississippi in 2017? You are considered a PART-YEAR resident and must file the NON-RESIDENT and PART-YEAR resident Return, Form 80-205. You will be taxed only on income earned while a resident of Mississippi and you will prorate your deductions and exemptions. Calendar year returns must be filed no later than April 15th annually. Fiscal year returns must be filed no later than the 15th day of the 4th month following the end of the fiscal year. Please write the fiscal year period and the words Fiscal Year Return in bold letters on the front of the return.

9 Need more time to file your return? If you will receive a refund or will not owe any additional tax, Mississippi will allow you the same time to file your return as allowed by federal. However, if you owe additional taxes, you must remit the tax due with Form 80-106, on or before the due date of the return. The authorized extension of time to file does not extend the time for payment of tax due. Interest and penalty will apply on any underpayment of tax. See the Interest and Penalty Provisions section of this booklet for more information. The return should be mailed to: Returns Requesting a Refund: All Other Returns (with Payments or No Tax Due): Department of Revenue Box 23058 Jackson, MS 39225-3058 Department of Revenue Box 23050 Jackson, MS 39225-3050 The below instructions serve as a general guide for filing your 2017 Mississippi resident Individual Income Tax Return (Form 80-105) or your 2017 Mississippi NON-RESIDENT or PART-YEAR resident Individual Income Tax Return (Form 80-205).

The instructions are keyed to the line numbers on the resident return.
